Winter vacation came quietly, and teacher Zhang Guimei warmly urged Chen Sihai to return home to accompany his beloved wife, and gave him a year-end bonus and an honorary certificate as encouragement.Chen Sihai's wife was deeply touched and praised Teacher Zhang Guimei for showing outstanding character both at the wine table and in life.Afterwards, Chen Sihai bowed gratefully to Zhang Guimei, and both parties exchanged best wishes for the New Year.

At this moment, everyone has returned home to reunite, but Gu Yu still sticks to the dormitory and studies hard.Until Zhao Xiaolei, who was born in an orphanage, rode over and invited her to return to the children's home to spend the Spring Festival.At the children's home, Zhang Guimei led the children to gather together to make dumplings and share the traditional custom of her hometown in Northeast China - wrapping steel balls in dumplings means good luck in the new year.

On the other side, after being introduced by Zhang Guimei, Yuan Shuai started the work of transporting cement at Master Cai's construction site.As night fell, Yuan Shuai wanted to go home and enjoy the reunion dinner, but was severely criticized by Master Cai, pointing out that he lacked skills and perseverance.Master Cai insisted that Yuan Shuai complete the task of the day - transporting one hundred bags of cement, otherwise he would inform Zhang Guimei of the matter.Although Yuan Shuai was unwilling to give in, he could only grit his teeth and persist.

Yao Xiaoshan was troubled and couldn't sleep in the dormitory, so he went to the office to find comfort.Unexpectedly, he discovered that Wei Tingyun had not left school yet, staring blankly at the calendar with a countdown of 102 days.It turns out that this marks that there are only a few dozen days left before the college entrance examination.Although Yao Xiaoshan was puzzled, he still decided to spend New Year's Eve with Wei Tingyun with a carefully prepared side dish. The two drank and stayed together, and the atmosphere gradually became better.

After three rounds of drinking, Wei Tingyun expressed his gratitude to Yao Xiaoshan for accompanying him, while Yao Xiaoshan took advantage of the wine to bravely express his feelings to Wei Tingyun and admitted that he stayed because of her.Faced with the sudden confession, Wei Tingyun pondered for a moment and responded frankly: They had promised Zhang Guimei not to fall in love for three years, but now there are only 102 days left, and they can join hands when the promise expires.When Yao Xiaoshan heard this, endless joy and expectation surged in his heart.

The New Year's Eve night at the children's home was warm and lively. Guyu was lucky enough to eat a dumpling filled with coins and closed his eyes to make a wish in front of everyone.In the dead of night, Gu Yu quietly came to Zhang Guimei's room, returned the coins, expressed deep gratitude and apology, and asked Zhang Guimei if she had forgiven herself.Zhang Guimei tenderly said that she never really blamed Gu Yu, but that her stubbornness reminded her of her former self.

Recalling the past, Zhang Guimei recounted her ups and downs from a proud and artistic young man to suffering the loss of her husband and becoming seriously ill.However, with the care and help of the attending doctor and the women in the mountains, she regained the courage to live and was determined to dedicate the rest of her life to the land of Huaping, illuminating more people's hearts with love and warmth.

At the same time, Master Cai was unable to go home due to busy work at the construction site. He earnestly warned Yuan Shuai to cherish the opportunity to study and change his destiny.After hearing Zhang Guimei's story, Gu Yu was deeply moved, hugged her tightly and called her “mom”. The two hugged each other and cried, and their emotions were sublimated at this moment.
